John Gould -Freelton, Ontario, Canada
I purchased a Tesla kit from EV West in Feb/20 & it has yet to arrive due to the unexpected demand for Tesla motors & a Covid shutdown. I have C6 wheels, tires and brakes, and will be using electric rack and pinion steering as well as Mustang ll style front suspension. The car has PWs & PDLs & will have A/C using an electric compressor. I was inspired by the Electrovair ll and just wanted to bring it up to date using the latest parts as the GM engineers might have done.
My first new car was a '61 Monza coupe followed by a new '62 Spyder convertible. After that a '66 427 Vette which I traded in on a new '66 Yenko Stinger ll and converted it to a Corv8 with a '69 302 crate motor. After selling that car I built a '65 Monza Kelmark 283. I'm having a local hot rod shop do the build as I turned 80 this year & don't have the facilities to do the required work. I intend to document the whole project in case someone else is contemplating a similar build.
